The provision reads: “The family member who, through violence, abuse or particularly impudent behaviour, puts another family member into a humiliating position shall be punished by a prison term ranging from three months to three years.” The new Family Act in force since 1 July 1999 provides: “Violent behaviour of either spouse or any other adult member of the family within that family is prohibited.” Article 362 of the same Act provides that “either spouse or any other adult member of the family who in contravention of article 118 of the Family Act acts violently shall be punished for misdemeanour by a prison term of 30 days”.
El artículo 362 de dicha ley dispone que "cualquier cónyuge o cualquier otro miembro adulto de la familia que, en violación del artículo 118 de la Ley de la familia, actúe de manera violenta será castigado, por mal proceder, con una pena de prisión de 30 días".
